Dinner

Bulgur Wheat. Just sitting around. Sauteed up some frozen shitake shrooms and onions, sauted for a few minutes then added garlic and porcini mushroom powder. Mixed in some veggie broth base, added water and soy sauce and simmered covered for about 20 minutes, then let stand.

I had some hydrated soy curls, (you definitely should click on the link and try a bag of these things!), from the night before which I had soaked in veggie broth, then breaded with a mixture of flour, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. They spent the night in a baggie and were somewhat stuck together so I heated up some canola and one by one peeled each strip off the clump and laid it down in the oil. I wanted something different and had a jar of Grill Masters Pork seasoning, (only vegan ingredients listed as it's basically a spice rub but you can make any kind of spice mix that suits your palate), and while it was cooking I liberally tossed on the spices. I flipped the soy curls and after they turned a golden brown and put their crisp on put them on a paper towel to drain.

The salad was mixed greens, mixed pepper batons and grape tomatoes with a Maple Farms Fat Free Balsamic Vinaigrette. Actually, I had some flavored tofu I wanted to get rid of also and heated that up in the microwave, sliced it up and laid that on top of the salad. Then I ate it. Then I decided to share my meal with you.

About Me

55 years old and I've recently, (around June or so 2010), come to some decisions and have put up my tent smack dab in the middle of the Vegan camp. I still ponder such things as to how far to drill down into ingredient lists and the role that ancillary things to the animal industry such as belts and shoes play but for now I do the absolute best to order vegan dishes and of course still cook 100% Vegan. I won't throw out my non vegan clothes but will no longer purchase anything made primarily from an animal, (leather, wool, etc.).
I'm pondering a podcast just to throw out my opinion, (why not? Seems as if everyone else with one has a soapbox), on just such topics as veganism, diet, lifestyle, clothing, decision making process, resources, where we get the most bang for the buck, and other such musings. Stay tuned. I refuse to eat rabbit food and salad exclusively, (although find myself leaning towards Dr. Fuhrman and nutritarian meals more often than not. I travel as a charter pilot for a living so when this blog is almost an answer to those who can't fathom finding vegan food in restaurants.
